Hi there, it's LBR HQ. We have a few harrowing numbers we want to get your eyes on:
66¢
That's how much a Black woman is paid for every dollar a white man earns on average.
33%
That's how much Black women running for office on average raise compared to their white counterparts.
5
That's how many Black women have ever served in the Senate. Until this year, when Lisa and Angela Alsobrooks in Maryland were sworn in, the Senate had never had two Black women serving at the same time.
Lisa Blunt Rochester has been fighting to address the disparities that Black women face in the United States, from healthcare to equal wages. She even just introduced a resolution to declare Black Women’s Equal Pay Day!
Lisa is working every day in the Senate to address the inequities that Black women — and other marginalized groups — face.
Can you spare $10 or more right now to help us meet our end-of-month fundraising goal so Lisa has resources to keep shattering barriers for Black women and other underrepresented communities?
If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
Thank you,
